2011 was cathartic for me. Going back to back in 2015 made me as happy as Test rugby could. If we do the three-peat in 2019, I'd suggest the RWC could be irrevocably damaged.

Let it burn

The lions strike back

My next door neighbour has just been diagnosed with COVID-19 and rushed to hospital.

He's been put on one of the new Dyson ventilators.

He's picking up nicely now.

Oh Man! I was typing a reply saying that is a good news story and then realised the thread I was in.

You almost got sucked right in..... I'll get my coat

Seriously, though, we talked about this with Henry as well. They will put systems in place to generate the players with attributes they need. Hansen's just done this wtih props - get mobile, or get gone. Simple.

It's about systems. We don't have any of note.

MacQueen and his team came together at just the right time and it took more than a year to get them pointed in the same direction

Was McKenzie on track before he fiddled and got caught?

Hard to say. From all reports, he had his favorites and would stick with them regardless.

Maybe his attitude was better (or better expressed) than Cheika. But look at that tweet from Quade - does that look like the culture was of a high standard when that guy is your first choice?

Genia's got an attitude problem as well. Many in Australia will refuse to countenance that.

While the Reds were winning, nobody cared

Some of the bad eggs, like Genia, are gone now anyway. You guys need new up and comers and someone to change the culture. Wait, I have just the man

A lot of fathers here, just imagine your little girl brings home her new boyfriend to show you. In walks that fat fuck, do you reach for the machete you have stashed in the shed or run next door to grab your neighbours .22 ?

I think you'll need a .303

TSF is like an island in a sea of shit right now

At a bar 1km from Yokohama stadium. It is stonking hot and sunny. Lucky the beer is cold

Should have just glassed his girlfriend or shat in a hallway, pissed in his own mouth or maybe some sort of gang sexcapade like those much better role models out there.

In other words a typical Saturdee night when Craig Gower was playing

Foolah didn't mention bestiality. So Mitchell Pearce is in the clear right?

Shooter, low rent Mark Wahlberg conspiracy film. Quite enjoyable undemanding watch, Rhona Mitra and Kate Mara gives the film extra credit. 3.5 sniper rifles out of 5 dirty senators

@mariner4life see I liked baked beans or a can of cream corn.

Canned corn can be made into corn fritters, make a great breakfast with a shitload of bacon

Switched on the TV and started watching Shooter with Mark Wahlberg. More importantly it stars two hawties

Rhona Mitra

Kate Mara

@canefan although that sounds different to what Winny claims to know...but yeah, when you look at all the people they need to keep the borders as they are, it was only a matter of time before someone picked it up and took it out into the community.

Two different examples of mismanagement

How is this OK? Why should it be excused?

https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/new-zealand/2020/08/nearly-two-thirds-of-nz-s-covid-19-border-isolation-staff-had-never-been-tested-a-week-ago.html

Newshub can reveal that just one week before our current community outbreak, 63.5 percent of all border and hotel isolation workers in Auckland had never been tested for COVID-19

I said that earlier. In between that and Winnie's revelation Labour should be put on the rack. Lucky the public are quaffing Cindy's kool aid it barely gets mentioned. One of these untested workers has contracted COVID-19 and spread it to this cluster family

@voodoo said in Coronavirus - New Zealand:

Can anyone remember what the deal was with flights in L3 and L4? Specifically international flights OUT of Auckland, with a domestic connection prior

Will depend on the relevant Covid order.
Covid Level 2-3 Order

People can leave NZ via Auckland either directly or transit from another place in NZ, or transit through on a domestic connection, as long as they stay less than 12 hours and don't leave the airport except to get on a plane.

I suspect even at level 4, if we get there, people will be able to leave NZ.

I don't think we will get to level 4 unless community transmission is unchecked - level 3 is enough to shut the virus down. However, public servants love to plan for the worst.

Robertson was asked on TV tonight, he said they would rather not go to L4, and if everyone does the right thing we shouldn't need to. Was talking targeted subsidies and threw 2 weeks out there. For what its worth

@Tim Winnie blowing the whistle in election season. Not even his coalition partner is spared

Fucken useless. Mrs CF saw a piece on the news that said only about 45% of quarantine workers are being tested. Judith has her ammunition

@MN5 not to mention he stopped Warney from getting his one and only test 100.

Glorious celebration at 5.00
